Built in 1919 by New York financier Harry Balfe, the Balfe Ranch house is a landmark of Spanish-style architecture and Central Valley history. Balfe, a confidant of Presidents Roosevelt and Taft, invested over one million dollars to create a grand estate and thoroughbred racing facilities. Renowned for breeding some of America's finest horses, the ranch drew celebrities such as Will Rogers, Gary Cooper, and Fred MacMurray, becoming Central California's only government-certified private airfield. Balfe also curated a private museum filled with Western relics and Native artifacts, underscoring his passion for preserving culture and history.​Today it is home to the Indart Ranch with 100s of acres of permanently planted agricultural product. Situated in the award winning Clovis Unified School District. Clovis Community Hospital just 3 miles away! The estate is positioned within the city's development plan. Whether envisioned as a private retreat or the foundation for a new residential or mixed-use community, this property stands at the crossroads of luxury and legacy.
